Second-Generation Visually Guided Laser Balloon Ablation System for Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Learning Curve, Safety and Efficacy 　- The MERLIN Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: The LB2 was safe and effective for PVI, even for operators without any previous experience in laser balloon-based PVI. Procedure time, left atrial dwelling time and fluoroscopy time decreased after a learning curve of 15 cases. PMID: 31708555 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
